Leon is the future - The Times

Make the most of the fresh vegetables available in markets, allotments, veg boxes and supermarkets to quickly pull together delicious vegetarian meals.

The philosophy at the heart of this book is about cooking and eating tasty, healthy fast food made from sustainable ingredients. Eating less – or no – meat has become key to the way many of us cook, and this collection of more than 150 really simple, really fast recipes is a treat for vegivores everywhere.

The first part of the book offers Star Turns, those vegetable-based dishes that can stand alone as a whole meal, with ideas for Breakfast & Brunch, Pasta, Grains & Pulses, Pies & Bakes, Rice & Curry, and Kids. The second part, Supporting Cast, explores accompaniments and smaller plates with chapters on Grazing Dishes, Sides, and Pickles, Salsas, Chutneys & Dressings.

Recipes include:

  • Asparagus & Wild Garlic Frittata
  • Jackson Pollock Salad
  • Squash Risotto
  • Black Bean Chocolate Chilli
  • Stuffed Aubergine Curry

About the Author

Leon was founded on the twin principles that food can both taste good and do you good.

When Henry Dimbleby, John Vincent and Allegra McEvedy opened their first restaurant, on London's Carnaby Street in July 2004, their aim was to change the face of fast food. Six months after opening, Leon was named the Best New Restaurant in Great Britain at the Observer Food Monthly Awards (by a judging panel that included Rick Stein, Gordon Ramsay, Nigel Slater, Heston Blumenthal, Ruth Rogers and Jay Rayner).

There are now 43 Leon restaurants.

Jane Baxter is co-author of The Riverford Farm Cook Book, which won Best First Book and Work on British Food at the Guild of Food Writers' awards. Jane worked at the Carved Angel in Dartmouth and the River Cafe before becoming the Head Chef at the Field Kitchen, the restaurant for Riverford Organic Vegetables. She now spends her time catering, consulting on local food matters in Devon and hosting food events in unusual locations.

Henry Dimbleby also co-authored Leon: Naturally Fast Food and Leon: Baking & Puddings. He and John Vincent are currently advising the UK government with their School Food Plan.
